THE UNION LABOR PARTY.
An East Side Meeting of Rather
Uncertain Complexion.

neap0llS DIVISION or the u mon Labor party,
held at Tobin'S rink last evening, was at
tended by about three hundred
voters. There was q superiority of
rousing addresses; and the Sons of
tail were almost talked to death literally.
q. A. Chase presided and Ii. q. Merrill
OBLIGATED us secretary. a. l.. Lennon pre-
sented the report of a committee appointed
at meeting held Thursday evening of last
week, which was not favorable to placing
ticket in the field. He said there were
about :, 500 voters in the First and Ninth
wards. If third ticket was placed i'll the
field it must receive 900 votes to carry,
and this the committee did not
think it would receive. DR.. NJ.
y. Finnegan. 1.-THE lean and hungry
CaSsius," lead off with fervant appeal for
third party movement. Il. ii. Lucas was
i'll favor of workingmen'S party. but was
in doubt as to whether the time to strike
had arrived. He waXed eloquent as usual,
and paid his customary tribute to the news
paper. Clarence Mueller repeated his Turner
hall speech, and was outspoken in his
conclusion that q third party is necessary
for the SAFETY of the commonwealth.
Henry Ash also advocated third party.
Capt. \. H. Nielsen talked about free trade,
and discussed the finance question some
what. II F. McCanney was not i'll favor
OF making The effort 70 carry the ticket
through this spring. K. IL. Graham hoped
the time would soon come.
VI. II. Hamilton was opposed to immedi-
ate action, but appealed for the principle of
equality of rights, which has been covered
by monopoliSts and rlngSterS until lost sight
of. He feared that If workingman's
ticket was put in the field in the Ninth
ward that the Republicans would
CARRY OFF THE WHOLE LOAF.
John O. Brien said-We are the producers
who have supported the drones of society.
E. Wheland saivfhe had been Repub-
lican long enough. AS Dr.. Finnegan had
put it. he believed that it was time to make
a kick. He did not believe i'll a cOmpro-
mise nor fusion.
James Mccain was opposed to fusion.
and w. P. SisSon also longed for straight
labor ticket, and wanted beginning made.
f. NJ. Prentiss said he was stickler for
principle, and did not want a coalition
with the Democrats.
P. j. Maher. from the Fourth ward,
offered a motion indorSing the Union Labor
platform.
The chairman said he understood that
the meeting was composed of residents of
the First and Ninth wards. and refused to
entertain such a motion, as coming from a
resident OF Vest Minneapolis.
Mr.. Hamilton then made the same mo-
ton, as a resident of the Ninth ward, and
added an amendment instructing the secre-
tary to read the platform, which was done,
and the motion prevailed.
Someone made a motion to name candi-
dates for aldermen for the First and Ninth
wards.
Aid. L'Herault was opposed to this as
likely to elect the Republicans-just what
the workingmen desired to avoid. He said
the Democrats had shown themselves to be
thu friends of workingmen, and in proof Of
this reviewed the record of the party in tine
council He said the division of tine First
ward by the recent legislature was scheme
TO defeat the wishes of the workingmen.
which could only be 'thWarted by united
action.
After more discussion Mr.. McAny moved
that the First and Ninth wards should hold
seperate meetings for the purpose of taking
final action. This was carried. A. L..
Lennon, at the conclusion of the meeting,
moved that the employers Of East Mime
apoliS should be requested to allow their
men half holiday on the day Of election,
and a committee of three appointed to cir
culate petition to this effect.
First w ard . Olitics.
The announcement that there would be a
meeting of the various factions of the First
ward at Germania hall Monday evening to
decide upon which candidate should be sup
ported in the race for alderman did not
draw out large crowd as had been an
ticipated. About $50 o'clock three or four
men gathered there, and after waiting some
time for others to put in all appearance
left in disgust. 1t would seem from
~. fl,aff i,ar nf trtn ho11 ~,
draw from the race was as far from settle
ment as ever. But perhaps the meeting at
Tobn's rink this evening will definitely
settle the matter. There the Irish residents
of the First ward will discuss the merits OF
Norton, Butler and Mccarthy and decide
upon which man to unite their support. AS
nearly every voter in the ward is Irish. OF
has a leaning that way, it is quite probable
that, the man who is successful this evening
will capture a seat in the council chamber.
